    Similar to 5 Guys Burgers & Fries, Rock Burger offers a plethora of options for stuffed burgers. You can even create your own. Non-stuffed burgers also available. The classic burger is okay in taste & average in looks. Service is adequate. Ambiance is lacking. Fries or tots are good & portions large.

    We were on a random hunt for a new burger place to try to quell our hamburger mood. While sitting at a signal, we saw this place and decided to stop in. It was about 6:45 pm and three tables were occupied. We went to the front counter and were shown the menu. There were so many burger options, it was almost a chore to pick our meals. After finally making our choices, we told her we wanted it to-go, and sat at a table near the front counter to wait. I noticed that the girl who took our order also was clearing tables, and then mopping the floor. Definite worker shortage! We waited about 30 minutes for two burgers with tots. That seems a little long for a simple order but maybe having one of our burgers being "stuffed" was the reason. The burgers looked delicious but somewhat boring. The tots were excellent, as tots always are. I chose to have a ranch seasoning on mine and in hindsight, I wouldn't do it again as the ranch was a bit strong. Overall, decent place but not sure if we would rush back due to the time to wait and so-so burgers. However, having the option of a stuffed burger is pretty enticing!

    I'm not a big fan of burgers but my friends wanted a quick bite. The inside was clean. Kinda reminded me of a 5 Guys. I ordered a turkey burger with onion rings. It was pretty good! The onion rings were nice and crispy. I thought my burger was really good with great flavor. I didn't care for the bread though. It tasted stale. I wish it was toasted. I would return and try the veggie burger!

    Crystal was balancing so much with answering the phone, taking dine in orders, cleaning the dining room, running out food etc. She made the experience so positive, intentional, and inviting. She is a rockstar!! Food came out in a timely manner, was fresh, tasty, and hot! The area was clean. This was our first experience and would love to return. Cook came out to check on us too. He even helped the front lady to ensure guests were served. Stop by, you won't regret it!!

    A bit skeptical when I first seen the menu but once I received the food, I was impressed with its juicy, flavorful patties and a variety of unique toppings. The brioche bun was perfectly toasted, adding a nice crunch. The service was pretty fast considering it was about 3pm Overall, a tasty experience worth trying.

    A fan of this chain and it's creative burgers . This location seemed a bit more casual than the one in Cheektowaga. Order at the counter and your food will be brought to you (as opposed to a server taking your order!) I got the 716 stuffed burger . Wing dip inside the burger with a mozzarella/pepperoni topped roll . Get a mini size with less guilt and make it a combo with fries (I like the ranch seasoned fry) and a drink . These burgers are juicy and full of flavor , with varieties for any pallet. Now if they would only start to carry boozy milkshakes!

    Kudos to Tonawanda's Rock Burger for having their grand opening in the midst of this Covid crisis. I was driving home one afternoon from picking up grocery, and saw to my left "Now Open." I thought to myself, "Ooooooo, a new Burger joint! I will have to try that place out." The day had come, and the family wanted burgers. Guess where we decided to go? Of course! The new burger joint. Rock Burger! We had never been to a Rock Burger before, and we were informed that there is another location in Niagara Falls. We looked over the menu. Caught by surprise by some of the names, we quickly learned that this was not an ordinary burger joint. Rock Burger has STUFFED burgers! oh my, oh my, oh my... and oooooh can you stuff these burgers with just about anything. You could even create your own stuffed burger. I was not as daring to try some of their sweet and savory options, but I did get the special. The Rock Beef on Weck. I devoured that sandwich; practically, inhaled it. The cajun ranch fries where delicious too. Little hands kept making sure that I could only have a taste of these fries. So, why only the 4 stars, and not 5? Well, my sister got the Buffalo chicken sandwich, and maybe she should have gotten a burger instead. She found the chicken to be a tad dry, and it lacked the Buffalo flavors. She did not finish the sandwich. My brother-in-law got a monstrous burger that I cannot recall the name as I write this review. He thoroughly enjoyed his burger and said that the burger itself was cooked perfectly and flavorful. I would go back on a more adventurous day and try one of the sweet-savory concoctions.

    OMG where do you begin. Well if you've ever heard of the juicy Lucy burger then you know about stuffed burgers. Rock Burger takes the stuffed burger and sends it for a loop. I had the Dorito Dream Boat full size. The burger was cooked to perfection and all of the items in the burger played so we'll off of each other. I had a side of onion rings on mine, the onion rings were slightly overcooked but still good. The wife had the Horseshoe Popper with Cajun fries and said that it all worked well together too. The kids ordered the mini burgers. One got the Reese's Extreme which had a Reese's PB cup stuffed in it with a strawberry spread. She had a side of Oreo Rock Rolls, which are egg rolls filled with Oreos. And the other got the Fuhgetaboutit and said it was delicious as well. The youngest ordered the chicken fingers and fries which she orders everywhere and was happy with them.

    Philly Cheesesteak burger.  Perfection!
    Aaron T.

    So their menu looks...interesting. I'm not sure I will ever try the oreo or cheesecake stuffed burger, but the Philly Cheesesteak was awesome. Burger was juicy, and huge. I think I may have just found my new burger addiction. I got the Cajun fries and Onion Rings to share with my wife. They were both perfectly crispy and very tasty. I really enjoyed the feel of the place. It makes me think of an updated 50's diner by its aesthetic, the place was clean, and the staff very attentive. All in all, I love this place and it's Burger Gastronomy theme. I will definitely be back.

    Having already been to their Niagara Falls location, I can say that the Tonawanda location is just as good! I tried the Buffalo Wing Dipper burger this time and it was delicious! Stuffed with Doritos and topped with cheese, bacon and Franks hot sauce. I made it a combo and added some delicious Cajun tater tots and a drink for $4 more. Definitely a place that I'll come back to again and again! And if you're military or first responder they offer a 10% discount!

    The 'Buffalo Wing Dipper' and cajun ranch seasoned tots.
    Bob C.

    Went in with moderate expectations and not so hungry, left impressed. Honestly, the creations don't sound super appealing but the beef was of good quality/prep and tasted great with the brioche roll. The cashier pushed the seasoning on the tots, And it wasn't bad, but some had too much and others had little. They were alright and although not too hot, my nose did clear. The burger and its stuffing had so much flavor, I think I'd go with regular tots next time. I went with the 1/4 pound 'Buffalo Wing Dipper' burger, which was filled with Doritos and cheese and topped with provolone, buffalo wing dip, bacon and Frank's Red Hot (I really do put that sh*t on everything, so I had to get this burger). The building was COLD, that would be my one complaint. The price was a little steep too. The small burger (which was fantastic and unique therefore warrants a premium price) with tots and a medium fountain drink ran me north of $15. They pushed for tipping, which I recommend because the cashier does bring the food to you, did ask how the meal was and did offer to get refills. All in all, a nice & slightly fun experience. Will definitely be back. My 2 companions had the same sentiments and one of those was just a plain burger. They make a good burger!

    Mac and cheese stuffed burger
    Alyssa R.

    This place is a hidden gem! They have a bunch of regular and stuffed burgers as well as wraps and sandwiches, I ordered the Mac and cheese stuffed burger in a 1/4 pound (there's also an option to get 1/3 or 1/2 pound burgers) and tots and a drink! It was very affordable and delicious! They have so many options for types of burgers you have to come and try them all!

Sides: Mac and Cheese very good. Creamy and also with a nice kick. Sweet potato fries perfect. The honey dipping sauce very tasty. Tried the "sweet corn pudding". Interesting. Cornbread stuffing and corn. Might make for Thanksgiving. Cornbread a bit too smooth, more cakey than coarse. Wife had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and Honey Poppyseed Coleslaw. The sandwich was huge. It looked great. She enjoyed it. They were fairly busy for a Tuesday, hoping that's a good sign.

I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

    I'm so happy they have vegan food, so I believe that everything here can be vegan, I was so excited…read morewhen I saw pretzels and vegan cheese but sad when they said they ran out so I'll be back for that. I got the vegan Mac n cheese and the chicken tenders with fries. Everything I got wasn't good, the breading on the 'chicken' was disappointing and tasted like old oil. The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.
